Back in the late ’70s, with racist overtones, the 22-Fillmore was often called the African Queen, and the 30-Stockton was the Orient Express. The 38-Geary should have been the Russian Roulette, but it wasn’t.

How about the 21-Haze? The few times I’ve rode the line on my trips to see the folks in SF,it seems like the riders are always in some sort of haze. And with apologies to my parents(God rest them both!)who lived near Duboce & Fillmore/Church in the 50’s,the 22 Drunky Drunk Shuttle,for pretty obvious reasons.

Just have a few. I should pay more attention so that I can dream up more.

22 – The Crazy Town Bus: Inspired by the 16th & Mission stop in particular.

24 – The Murder Tour Bus: Inspired by a driver who explained why we should never get off anywhere in Bayview while on that bus. His story included the word “sniper,” and brains-blowing-out hand motions.

14/14L – The Murder Bus: Someone was once stabbed while I was riding that bus.

The Thirsty Seven Corbett isn’t long but it passes all my favorite watering holes-The 43 has to be the longest route in creation-6,000 miles from the Marina to Munich and Geneva- AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!….rest…

My how things have changed, when I was a boy the 30 Express ran straight through Chinatown without stopping until it reached Sutter St. (on the other side of the tunnel). Or for that matter, once it left Sutter St. going the other way it did not stop until Broadway and Polk St. (past the Broadway tunnel).
